People know the difference between being entertained and being fleeced!
😡💢💢WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!!! Disney is NOT fleecing anyone! Iger is doing the job, NOT Disney! But that's all going to change.
Bob Iger's days as Disney's CEO are numbered. It won't be long before he and the other board members are gone for good. Iger will be replaced by Musk, and Disney will start to change for the better.
I also plan to change Disney for the better by abolishing the woke agenda forever. Iger WON'T be pandering anyone anymore. That's a promise.
@timothycheuvront8284 😡💢💢HEY!!! Watch yourself!!! Disney is NOT fleeceing ANYONE!!! Iger is the one doing it, NOT Disney!!!
Disney is as much of a victim as we are!!! But that's all going to change. My friends and I are going to change Disney for the better.
And we're going to abolish the woke agenda permanently and restore Disney back to the way it was before. I'm not kidding about this at all.
Just you wait and watch. Disney will entertain everyone again.
I CAN 100% CONFIRM AS A CAST IN EPCOT
CROWDS ARE LOW AND IM SHOCKED
Why are you shocked? Years of construction for a prison cafeteria?!? I don't think so.
I was at Epcot today and once again it looked like it was at about 15% capacity. This might be a dream come true for first timers who want to ride everything but for a regular it is eerie and boring. I also notice in the shops there were small crowds of people looking at all the flashy items but the cashiers looked like the maytag repair man sitting bored with nobody buying anything. The next earnings call is going to be a financial bloodbath.
The good news is that the world 🌎 moves on and eventually 💩s (Disney) get flushed 🚽. I cannot wait for the opening of the Universal Studios Dark Universe. When I am down there on vacation to go to Universal I will give a brief wave (L - losers wave) to Disney as I drive past it.
I’m at Animal Kingdom and it’s packed today. Where are these low crowds I was promised?!
Genie+ has killed the golden goose. Disney got to dang greedy and is no longer customer experience centric.
It is a disgusting grift. A cash grab that leaves a poor taste in most people’s mouths.
Yup, my last trip to Disneyland was just over 2 years ago, I saw first hand what Genie+ was doing, lines were short yet really long to get through, counting at least 5 Lightning Lane guests get escorted through for every 1 standby line at the merge point on literally every ride that had both I went on, being able to do the math and see that at least 83% of the ride capacity is being reserved for Lightning Lane (5 divided by 6), and I want no f***ing part of that.
fast pass was balanced. genie+ is just pay to play and it’s disgusting
@@presserCC I was not a big fan of that either. But at least it was free.
Just like the grift+ they have now, it made the lines unnecessarily longer than they needed to be.
Exactly. That was the beginning of the end for me.
It's the leadership at Disney that's tanking the stock .
That leadership invited the activists / LOCUSTS into the company ... and as someone who grew up in West-Berlin in the early 70s ... I can confirm that *COMMUNISM WORKS ... UNTIL THE RESERVES ARE USED UP!*
This is what we are witnessing now ... with Bob "scrambling" (not really) to try and turn the ship around to make some money, because Bob only cares about Bob ... and he doesnt want to be known as "the guy who destroyed Disney".
Demons do not know how to create something new, nor original.
They can only pervert, or subvert that which has been created.
Woke ideologies suck creativity from your soul. Everything is through Marxist lenses of exploiters and exploited, and bitterness. Creativity is not born in such an environment, just sickness. And it becomes self evident to the guests and patrons of the Disney brand. I hope the company has a chance to reset and follow the original path before these entitled know it alls decided we all needed to change to make them feel better about themselves.
Then you must hate Hellboy as well as The two brothers from devil may cry series.
@@comet392 Not at all. Hellboy is a great show...media presentation of wht they want to give you as a demon. Hellboy seems to be a "badass", which means he makes his own rules, etc.
His "devil may care attitude," he sees an opportunity, and takes it, etc.
Seems to me, it's not at all the same...OTHER THAN, simply using the same name.
This is what makes evil so tricky, is that people don't know the principles involved, and just use the word demon indiscriminately.
This is what I see.
@@schumannresonanceswithverte You literally admitted " they can only pervert, subvert that which has been created".
@@comet392 That appears to be what I said. What was the point you are making?
When they cater to a .001%of a certain group and ignore the rest of us, this is what they get.
the 'modern audience' now has it's own theme park, taken over without a shot...
They DONT cater to that group ... NOT REALLY ... their INTENTION is to ... ... ... *DESTROY DISNEY ON PURPOSE!*
a) NOBODY can be this incompetent (while TRYING to make money) ... so they OBVIOUSLY DONT CARE about making money!
b) DEMORALISATION is phase 1 of the communist subversion of a country ... and destroying positive/uplifting entertainment, history, culture is clearly designed to do that.
They took away everyone's beloved splash mountain and the music... I loved the music😢😢😢 when you go to Disney world it's like everybody is miserable and unhappy and arguing and on their phones. I don't want to go to Disney world and have to be on my phone for everything I do. You can't even get a Dole whip without standing in two lines and being on your phone 📱 📱📱📱
It's beginning to look like a CEO with all the artistic insight of a Mafia boss has taken over the Walt Disney Co.
Remember when Disney loved their customers? I’ll leave this right here.
Do you remember when it used to be The Wonderful World of Disney 🤔. Yeah good times.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
😡💢💢HEY!!! Disney WILL love its customers again! It WILL happen, and my friends and I are going to make it happen! We're going to abolish the woke agenda for good, and we're going to restore Disney back to the way it was!
Mark my words, Disney is NOT done! Not at all! Disney WILL be revived!
@@chrisc6085
Pepperidge Farms saw that cast member diggle that little boy... didn't think we'd notice, but we did. Pepperidge Farms rememberes when they had working rides, clean cast members, and men in dresses didn't sell clothes to little girls...didn't think we noticed, but we did...
@@darkwolfe6286 😡💢💢OF COURSE I DO!!! Disney WILL become the Wonderful World of Disney again!!! And my friends and I are going to make that happen!!!
We're going to abolish the woke agenda and make Disney more affordable for everyone!!!
The good times WILL return to Disney! Make no mistake about that!
While they take away our beloved attractions or ruin our beloved disney movies, or icons, and at the same time price gouge customers and spit in their faces...It is a downfall that is well deserved.
BOYCOTT ALL DISNEY PARKS.
except those abroad like the 1 in Japan
@@NSMITH8516the two, there are two in Japan. Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, which is apparently one of the best theme parks in the world.
@@AceAviations2 exactly thx for the info
@@NSMITH8516 WRONG ... Disney still gets money from that.
You americans need to learn how boycotts work.
and don't let animezilla gaslight us
So you've paid for entry, paid all the supplementary charges for Genie+, virtual queues...etc but at your allotted time the ride is down YET that's 'just tough' ? No refunds or compensation ? Well SOD THAT !!! 🤬🤬🤬
You get an extra pass to use for any ride and if you can't use it, you can ask for a refund with guest services
My daughter’s party of six on July 4th was in line for Frozen Ever After when the sign said 60 minute Stand By wait. It was switched to 90 minutes when it started raining while she was in line. Her actual wait time: 20 minutes. Ridiculous effort by Disney to get people to needlessly buy Genie+.
When will Disney learn that there's model called the Laffer curve where you can increase prices to a point then, you price your product out of the market as fewer and fewer people can afford it, thereby you lose business and market share.
They have finally priced the average family out of disneyland, enjoy your lack of funds Disney!
I really look to your videos for the true happenings with Disney. Thank you! My wife and I used to go several times a year from our home state of Michigan. I’ve been a Disney Kid my entire life. I’m now 61! And I couldn’t be more upset with the current leadership of Disney. It’s been a fiasco since I’d say around 2018 and on. We started to slow down on our trips there and cut back more and more each year. It pains us to take such action as my wife of 38 years was also raised on the wholesome good and Magic of Disney. We started taking our kids when they were little tykes and now have been taking our grandkids but even that has slowed drastically. We started taking trips out west to see the country and it’s more wholesome people and places and putting those 10-15,000 per trip into those trips instead and we have actually found more happiness out there then in Florida or Anaheim(I’ve always loved the nostalgia of Disneyland over Florida parks but started out at Florida parks as a kid so they too hold great memories for me. My wife visited the Florida Parks as a kid with her family as well and even briefly lived in that area before she like me joined the Armu after college and we met in 1986 as young 20’s something and never looked back. We still love Disney in our hearts because of what was, but no longer for what is. We discuss this probably 3-4 times per week and it always evolves around disappointment. We currently only have one more trip planned there in Florida and that’s not until late October 2025 with two of our younger Grandchildren who were just too young before. We go for 2 1/2 weeks and as you can imagine, throwing in all the Disney Parks and both Universals plus Sea World Discovery Cove, and we as one trips lay down more than 15,000 easy. We fly as well/rental car, dine out everyday, etc. we can save so much money by taking our road trips out to Yellowstone/Tetons/Glacier/Roosevelt/etc staying in the top hotels available along the way/eating at fine restaurants (when available) and still only spend approx 5-6,000 on a two
Week excursion. See so much new and interesting places we all have heard of but never saw in person. We have been to Disney so
Much what is there to see that hasn’t been seen before? Not worth the cost, hassle of the airports, crowded places, extreme heat at times,etc etc.
In the mid 80s thru the mid 90s, I was financially doing extremely well, and I was single. I brought my parents, grandmothers, nieces, nephews, siblings and friends to Walt Disney World. I went multiple times a year, every year and always stayed on the property at every Disney accommodation. The busiest times included mid-June through mid-August, especially Independence Day. The best time to go year-round was from the Monday after thanksgiving weekend through the weekend prior to the week before Christmas Eve. The first week of December being the absolute best. The video of Main Street looked like it was the first week of December minus Christmas decorations. Very sad.
I would enjoy nothing more than seeing Disney go bankrupt. Even if my stock portfolio took a hit it would be worth it. The company is unrecognizable now from the one started by the Disney brothers.
@@Tonymanero1960 you need a wake up call Disney is never going out of buisness you piece of shit how dare you how dare you I love Disney
If you expect that to happen, then why continue to own the stock?
Not going to happen. Your 401k is pumped into Disney.
Hell yeah ❤
😡💢💢YOU WILL REGRET SAYING THOSE WORDS, I PROMISE YOU THAT!!! Those are the STUPIDEST words you could ever say about Disney!!!
You will enjoy nothing more than to see Disney be revived and changed for the better!!! It's NOT enjoyable to see Disney go bankrupt at all!!!
I would enjoy nothing more than to see Disney be revived and changed for the better. And that's exactly what I plan to do to Disney. I'm going to abolish the woke agenda for good and restore the company back to its former glory!!! And I won't stop until I fulfill my goal of saving Disney!
I can remember a time when going to a Disney Park was a rite of passage. I can remember staying at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and having a blast. Today you can't pay me to stay in Disney.
I used to long for some reliable time when there would NOT be crowds at Disney, and I could just walk on to the rides I wanted. Now that it has happened, you couldn't pay me to go to any of their parks.
Changing Country Bears and Haunted Mansion is the process of removing hoo wite vioces from the park.
two more attractions now safe for snowflakes...pretty sad
I love Tokyo Disneyland. No woke BS there. The only problem with it the long lines because it is so popular.
You mean long lines because it gives customers what they want and customers give them $$$. What a shocking concept ?
Tokyo Disney: The last place for Americans to enjoy Americana
Woke.... LMAO. Being offended is a choice....
@@BSDLLC Asians don't play with the woke BS.
😡💢💢JUST SHUT UP WITH THAT WORD ALREADY!!! I'm sick to death of hearing it!!! LISTEN!!!
US Disney is NOT going woke anymore!!! My friends and I are going to change it for the better! No kidding about that!!! We're going to abolish the woke agenda permanently and restore Disney back to the way it was!!!
You WILL be going to US Disney once that happens!!!
The fundamentals of a theme park IS THE THEME! If your "theme" is popular you get the visitors, sell the merchandise and get the dollars. If people are not watching your movies and shows then no sales and no visitors to the parks. 15 years ago crowds of kids would be waving at characters dressed as princesses, Iron Man and Darth Vader. Who would wave at Wendy, Asha, Captain Marvel and Ahsoka? Probably choosing a different "theme" and wave at minions or Pikachu.
It also doesn't help that they made it so fans of these things couldn't come to the parks dressed up as Jedi etc either. That was not such a good idea. Little kids should be able to wear a Jedi cloak!
@@yrevra2407, they can. Last I looked, the age limit was 10.
You also need attractions that WORK ... and ACCEPTABLE PRICES.
Fantasialand (Germany) doesnt really have "a theme", but it is TIGHT and WELL DESIGNED (because space is limited and thus you need to THINK about how you build it to maximise the effect).
Besides all the other things being discussed, the park prices with the added costs for Genie + are too high.
I was at epcot a few days ago. We got evacuated off if the land ride and ratatouille.
That sounds like fun. We’re waiting for EPIC Universe to launch.
@@DOSU490 Yes, it actually was a neat behind the scenes look. I can't wait for Epic to open.
@@DOSU490Going to Florida for universal, and NOT Disney, Tokyo is the only good one nowadays
Disneyland is having the same problem. I saw a youtube video on July 10 where the guy said it was not crowded at all in Disneyland. Some of the rides were a five minute walk-on and the longest wait times were 30 to 45 minutes for some of the most popular rides. He said the weather was nice, 85 degrees with a nice breeze, no humidity, he ate at Carnation Plaza and said the food was good and it did look good. Two of the rides he went on broke down while he was on them, the Mark Twain boat and Pirates of the Caribbean. The Mark Twain broke down in front of Tom Sawyers Island and blocked the raft, so people were stuck on the island for a while. He said they were on the boat for an hour before they could get off, but he was given a Magical pass, like a Fastpass where he would not have to wait in line, but only for certain rides. He used it to go on Big Thunder Railroad. He said there was no compensation given for being stuck on Pirates and didn't say how long it was. He did say at the end that it was one of the best days he had at Disneyland. Considering how nice it seemed to be, the only reason I could think of as to why it wasn't crowded was because it is still too damn expensive.
They have been abusing their theme parks without keeping to their maintenance schedules, and raising prices constantly. Plus their competition have been opening many new parks and rides. Disney is behind and they are not doing anything but running their parks into the ground.
Country Bears Musical Jamboree is Okay. It is an Okay show. I feel like they could have done better but It's not bad like Tiana's bayou Adventure.
How long before Disney starts blaming the people who aren't spending vast amounts of hard-earned money on their ludicrously overpriced them parks and also... racism?
I was there today at MK and it was pretty crowded, especially in frontier
Bring Back the Orange Groves...
I saw the new Country Bear Jamboree. It’s way better than I had thought it would be. Big Al singing Remember Me was pretty good.
Why is Disney World empty? The answer is obvious, it's too damn expensive for most people to afford. Personally, Orlando is too hot & humid, Disney World has notoriously long wait times, it's complicated having to plan practically everything ahead of time, like making restaurant reservations six months ahead, trying to get into a virtual ride queue or paying extra for Genie+ or Lightning Lane in order not to have to wait in long ride lines, plus the food is not good. Why would anyone want to pay so much money to take a vacation in hell?
Also, you called these wait time short when these are the same weight all of them get and that was a lot of the classic dark rides and flat rides so. Even kilamojaro gets five minute wait all the time. Because 45 minutes for Winnie the Pooh is short like OK.
Here is my thought. Disney has truly priced everybody out. I’m not just talking about theme park I’m talking about hotels. Need to restructure the prices if they wanna get more people in the box thing need to redo das in good fate from a PR point of view.
They didn’t lose it, they wasted it on Iger fairytale DEI dreams.
I'm gonna laugh so hard if the park workers strike.
Overpriced entry, overpriced extras to shorten queues, overpriced snacks and drinks, everything in those parks geared to suggesting you spend more and more money.
Folks simply can't afford it, esp with lots of kids who want everything in sight. The films and games that generate the interest in the first place are political and not family orientated any more. No one wants to be preached at, especially not by a company which is fleecing its customers at every cash point.
I remember years back 4 generations of my family all went together to the Florida park, vividly remember my grandmother who was nearly 80 at the time literally running down the street after Cinderella and apologising for having missed seeing her in the parade, with the rest of us charging after her in case she fell over or something - good times.
You couldn't even pay me to go now, my own children are fed up with the poor quality of films and TV series and also tired of 'The Message', my grandkids have zero interest in anything Disney. All of us cancelled our Disney+ subs earlier this year.
The company needs to either go bankrupt, be bought out or have a massive massive shake up. Too much political posturing, not enough entertainment.
What is the situation with EuroDisney ? How are they doing ?
Last I saw, they had major labor problems.
Our family of 4 normally goes 2-3x per year out of state with Annual Pass and stay on-property purchasing all meals and G+/LL. The changes from Genie+ to LLMP are fine, whatever. However, we’ve realized the total cost is excessive. They are selling so many ‘fast pases’ (G+/LLMP/LLSP) that it’s not really a skip the line…it’s an absolute requirement.
We just cancelled 2 trips (Oct and April), have let the out of state Annual Pass lapse, and will go for a 1 week trip in May.
Great video. If WDW Pro sees this comment, you might consider the impact of Disney discounts. No channel has really studied those. When attendance is low Disney will offer upto 40% discounts (happened in 2007/2008 recession) on their hotel rooms. They also offer $400/4 day tickets to entice those off-property and Florida residents who don’t have APs. There are lots of levers they adjust. I’ll make sure to capture those discounts, but I’m still only going 1x a year now.
But Bob chapel said he didn't want us locals. We needed to allow the "family of 4 from denver" to have our reservation slots! Well, Bob, wish granted. Our Florida family of 4 are nolonger disney passholders.
Makes no sense. How the heck can their stock be worth $99 a share?? I wouldn't pay even $45 for one share.
The Forbes article is nothing but fluff and full of complaining about how a company runs it's park.
The Annual Report is positive on all levels across the board for the whole resort. There is nothing wrong with Tokyo Disney other than the slight stock drop back in march.
Ithe first time I took my Daughter to Disney world was Wednesday after Easter 1985 we had a park hopper and we were in line for HOURS!! WE LITERALLY GOT ON 3 RIDES the Entire Day!!!😮 The one i remember is MJ's Captain EO... We never did go back during a holiday... But we went every year after during March or September - October... We stopped in 2019... We're Done....
😡💢💢WRONG WORDS TO SAY!!! DON'T EVER SAY YOU'RE DONE!!! You're NOT done with Disney at all!!!
You and your daughter are going back to Disney because Disney is going to change for the better!!! I'm SERIOUS about this! We're going to make Disney better than ever by abolishing the woke agenda and make Disney easier and more affordable for everyone!!! NEVER say that you're done!!!
Just tried to get some hotel information from both Disneyland and Universal Cali. as an international person. The Disney rep ( we ended up having to call the number on the website because the page is massively unintiative) Three Disney staff members and not one of them could answer some simple questions about their own hotels. On top of them not listening to our desired vacation time frame. They litterally told us to call back after the staff shift change.
On the Universal side, we managed to get all our Hotel info. Ticket info and transportation info with one person. We know the prive info can change but, the experience was night and day.
Everyone's going to Universal now. With Epic Universe opening next year, Disney is in trouble.
Just went it was pretty empty at universal.
Also epic universe will take people away from both there other parks so not really
Yupp. My family included. One of the main reasons being how they conveniently butchered and damn near eliminated DAS just in time to promote their new lightning lane bullshit.
Company doesn't even PRETEND to have morals at this point.
@@Mochichu-w6bPeople are waiting for Epic Universe to open
@@garrettmaichel8347 😡💢💢WRONG!!! Disney WON'T be in trouble next year!!! Epic Universe is going to be biting Disney's dust next year because Disney is going to change for the better!!!

Mark my words, Epic Universe will be outranked by Disney next year.
@jblanchet5796 😡💢💢WRONG words to say, pal!!! DON'T even think about going to Universal!
You're going back to Disney because Disney is going to change for the better! I'm serious about what I said.
DAS will be greatly improved for everyone, and Lightning Passes will be replaced by the original Fast Passes.
Not only that, but the woke agenda will be permanently ABOLISHED.
You have my absolute sincere word that my friends and I are going to make that happen.
Ya know. I went to disney for Halloween 2023 and it didnt even click how easily we walked on stuff. The safari, flight of passage, haunted Mansion, pirates, you name it. The longest wait we had was 45mins for slinky dog. We even had prime fireworks spots just walking up. I just thought we were lucky!!
haha they thought the theme park income was independant from their ip performence. how cute.
It's great. And they can't give Star Wars merch away.
I love Disney! I miss the way it used to be to be. The magic is gone. It’s heartbreaking to see it a shell of what it was. The last time I was Disneyland you could see it going down hill!
I never had particularly strong feelings for disney until about 6 years ago, now I loathe them with every fiber of my being
Yes, WDW truly was my happy place. My mom & I both loved it & went once a year for the better part of a decade. She passed away unexpectedly a couple of months after our last trip at the end of 2012. I was devastated by her loss, & it was years before I could even think of going without her. I was finally ready to at least look into planning a solo trip when Covid hit & everything went crazy. Now they've taken away so much of the magic that I barely recognize my beloved parks. And even if I overlook the many, many unfavorable changes, they've pretty much priced me out now. Universal is giving me some hope, as I see more of Walt's spirit there than I do at the House of Mouse these days. I hope Disney gets their act together one day, but in the meantime, I'm glad to see Universal stepping up to the plate & hitting home runs.
Ive Never been a Sea World fan. Actually ive never been there, but they are doing well 🎉
Animal experiences are really cool.
Why no one mentions the economy as a reason for low park attendance??! It is a luxury to go to the parks in the US nowadays. And the obvious, all their dei and woke driven actions.
While Tokyo Disneyland is way more respectable due to how they run things compared to their western counterpart(example, their refusal to touch their Splash Mountain 👏) this kind of bad collateral was to be expected due to what Disney as a company has done to it’s own legacy.
1h wait to get on a ride? I have better things to do.
$ 16 billion loss in one year! Now, how Bob, wannabe businessman, Iger will declare that to the shareholders and investors? Sure, the reason after covid and the lack of tourism was a problem for Japan,but maybe, some of them don´t agree with the new ideologies Disney, Orlando want to dictate Disney Japan. Few weeks ago there was another video in YT which explained the reasons and discusssion about that.
However, it´s great news to see Disney stock tanking more and more 😄😄.
I’m waiting for Peltz and Musk to buy out Disney!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm curious what is the attendance of Tokyo Disney
Why does Bob Iger get to keep his job? I would have voted to fire him long ago.
No refund or any compensation when you pay for a service they can’t provide?
as far as I recall - Disney didn't do most of the money on their movies, but on toys and the carousel of the theme park.
But - what happens when nobody except extreme minorities really wants the toys?
...when nobody except extreme minorities identifies with the characters?
Ironic justice.
Everything says America more than Disney anymore
I kinda feel that it may also be an indictment of the current economy. So many people just don’t have the money to spend on things like Disney. What is Orlando tourism looking like, in general right now. Are other parks seeing good attendance?
Sea World was so packed on July 4th that they had a no re-admittance policy because so many people were waiting to get in.
Good question!
Universal is doing fine.
Um..wasn’t it like a thousand degrees out and a hurricane potentially rolling into the state?? Just one day, I know..but just saying…
B.A.D. Boycott Anything Disney
Disney went anti-family but still expected families to support them. Foolish
Bob had it right the times they our a changing. Bob Dylan. The other two bobs have there heads stuck up there ashes,
Iceberg is the correct spelling, thank you.
Greed eventually leads to self consumption for companies. They always want to charge more while providing less. At a certain point brand loyalty hits a breaking point. Then everything collapses as the company desperately charges more and cuts quality in a vane attempt to restore profits. Usually happens when a company is bought out by those thinking they'll make a profit off buying a lucrative company. Rarely, if ever, happens to the founders who actually built the initially successful business.
Pro did you know they closed Peter Pan unexpectedly because of breakdowns?
as in the actual ride, or the cast members...
My family and I was at Disney World in June. Le me just say as a person who has been going to Disney since I was 6yo, I can understand say I was shocked to she how less crowded the parks were, especially Magic Kingdom. It’s so sad how Disney has traded in their Magic for “Woke agendas”. Oh another thing is the prices. I remember when you start on Disney grounds you would automatically have access to Magical Hours, but now you have to pay and do get me started on the “Genie Passes” HORRIBLE and a waste of money!
We also went to Animal Kingdom and got there around 1 ish to ride Avatar and explore pandora. I wanted to explore Dino land but was rudely told by and elderly employee that he park was closed and it was 5:45pm. Like WTH, I remember staying til dark at Animal Kingdom. Like seeing Pandora come to live at night is so breathtaking. So why would they close so early… especially in the summer months?!
Heck I didn’t even know untiThe only thing that is consistent is the Florida Heat 😂
@WDW: Ok... Put your money where your mouth is and short the stock.
Disney World/Disney Land Who? Are they still open? /s My next resort vacation is planned for Universal Studios when the Dark Universe opens. I am counting down the days for my Universal Studies trip. Maybe if I remember, I will wave at Disney World as I drive by (yes, it will be the L - Losers wave but at least I will be thinking of them however briefly).
16 billion? They can't have much money left.
Wow, this video got 50 likes in only SIXTEEN minutes!
Yep. One of the clearest signs how badly Disney has effed up is the number of people who are eagerly and joyously consuming stories of their downfall. Go check out Jenny Nicholson's 4 hour video of her miserable time at the defunct Star Wars hotel.
Maybe people are finally tired of the high cost of going to the parks, and of course the other theme parks are following suit. The greed is biting them in the behind.
Go woke go broke
They nearly went bankrupt in the 80s, this time is the charm.
😡💢💢SHUT UP, YOU!!! This time is NOT the charm!!! Disney nearly going bankrupt is NOT charming at all!!! And Disney will NEVER go bankrupt because Disney is gonna change for the better!
My friends and I are going to make sure of that! We're abolishing the woke agenda and make Disney fully anti-woke! This is NO joke at all!!!
the avalanche has begun its slide down the mountain. I do expect to hear that they are hemorrhaging money and for the sell off to really begin. Maybe see a slide down to 75.
I agree. Going to be a volatile summer, esp with IATSE strike looming. The plummet should be dramatic.
Boeing management mentality. That's the story
The reality is I’m through paying $4000-$7000 to stand in line for hours at a time. That’s idiotic.
You can come to Europe and visit non-Disney theme parks ... and maybe a REAL castle instead of a fake one. Just choose the right time of year to do that.
P.S.: Neuschwanstein is also a FAKE castle, because it was created as a kind of "theater backdrop" sprung from the mad mind of the last bavarian king.
The only reason I want to go to Tokyo is to see The Hotel Hightower in person, & I hate drop rides. 😅
The architecture is amazing, but the original in Florida is a better ride. And I LOVE the Tokyo Disney Resort
The people in charge of pricing for Disney Parks have nobody to blame for this but themselves. They're horredously out-of-reach nowadays.
The sooner Disney adjusts their park prices to make them applicable for families, the better.
Look at the condition of Mission Space, look at the condition of most of the bathroom stalls, it’s never been this bad before. The infrastructure is collapsing and being replaced by shoddy workmanship.
Keep in mind Tokyo Disney isn’t owned by Disney. So while it’s reasonably seen as a harbinger for the Disney-owned parks, its losses don’t affect Disney’s bottom line.
My daughter and her family are at Disney as we speak…went to Epcot yesterday and At Magic Kingdom now…having a wonderful time..Hollywood Studios tomorrow.
My family just texted Tron was great! So it was open.
Without Splash Mountain and all the changes they’ve done to Country Bears, Pirates, and now even Haunted Mansion it isn’t even worth it anymore. Especially with higher prices and the convoluted lightning genie premium plus garbage lol.
Disney has also pushed the people who needed DAS away, and said that we just shouldn't come. I think they've lost a lot of families because of those changes.
😡💢💢HEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!! That's NOT true at all!
Disney is pushing NOBODY away! They're NOT losing families because Disney is CHANGING for the better!!!
We're going to make it so by abolishing the woke agenda and improving DAS for everyone!!! I'm NOT joking here! DAS WILL be improved, and families will flock in Disney again!!!
Nice~
Disney has the only parks where you first have to ask your kids if they want their fairy tale princess with a mustache or a full-blown beard. 😂
😡💢💢SHUT YOUR LAUGHING!!! This ISN'T funny at all!!! Disney DOESN'T have princesses with a mustache or a full-blown beard!
That's the Fairy Godmothers! But that's changing! Once my friends and I have abolished the woke agenda for good, Disney will NEVER have any fairy godmothers in drag ever again!!
You have my sincere word that Disney will be changed for the better!
Makes me sad what has become of Disney. Not just the theme parks, but the movies and shows with which I grew up. I loved K-Mouse and The K-Cal Kids, The Disney Afternoon lineup (until Goof Troop, though I did enjoy Gargoyles as well as Timon and Poomba).
I grew up one county away from Disneyland and visited it every so often as I grew up. Even as an adult I went when I could, I even once got an annual pass after my magician boss/mentor and I performed at a party for someone with connections to get us good annual passes (even covered parking).
My friends and I even enjoyed some of the Kingdom Hearts stuff. But today it’s a mess. Parks, corporation, artworks, and overall culture is overall a corrupted/perverted IP hoarding mess.
How can it be? Corporate structure cant correct for being occupied and consumed by a group of people. There is a problem with the structure itself if shareholders have no remedy other than cutting their losses by selling.
The theme parks depend on the IPs for their success. Ruin all your IPs with bad woke remakes and you kill the demand for your parks.
The remakes are so bad they've destroyed the demand created by the originals. And I suspect that they are so bad that the demand will never return. All of the Disney, Star Wars and Marvel characters have been transformed from cultural staples everyone enjoys, to a bitter vile corruption of all that was good.
I classify Disney as a hate group, similar in messaging to the KKK.
I have to tell relatives they can't take my kids to Disney movies without me vetting the material because I don't want my children growing up with the toxic repressive notion that some people who have a certain color of skin are better than others skin colors. Or that who you chose to sleep with determines your value.
Once again, I think a lot of attendance is down this year for Disney because 1. It is too expensive... and 2. because epic universe is coming next year.
Most families can only pay for a several thousand dollar vacation maybe once every 1 - 5 years. So a lot of the people that may have gone to disney this year probably look over at what universal is doing think "WOW if I just wait a year i can save a bit more money and go to this amazing new park that beats anything Disney has put out in the last few years".
This is the sea withdrawing before the tsunami hits... but we all know its coming.
Is the Universal stock growing? I imagine so.
Let's see...WDW lost its tax exempt status and prices go up as a result, WDW is now charging for the Lightning Pass, the monorails are shutting down, Tiana's Adventure is constantly shutting down and the feedback from those who have been on the ride is mediocre at best, they're getting countless complaints about men in dresses working at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and 💩 on the ground in the ride queues, the Haunted Mansion now needs "changes," the list goes on and on. It's to the point where your average middle class family of four can't afford a WDW vacation. If what they say is true, that 60% to 70% of Disney's annual revenue comes from the theme parks, Disney is in big trouble...
Ji prices and only ho on 2 rides in 8 hours
And Disney needs to ditch the wokeness. Go woke, go broke. They've ruined Star Wars and Dr Who. They are losing their long-time fans. They'd better revert this immediately or it will be too late.
😡💢💢And they WILL!!! They WILL ditch the wokeness FOREVER!!! And my friends and I are going to help them do so. Together, we're going to make Disney fully anti-woke!
Also, Disney DIDN'T ruin Star Wars and Dr. Who, Iger did. He's the one to blame for this mess. But fortunately, he won't be around any longer. He's going to be gone for good. I'll make sure of that.
I asked my daughter why she hasn't been to Tokyo Disneyland She just told me it was too pricey and boring now .. Also due to weak yen the tourism is booming in Japan but no one wants to go to Tokyo Disneyland .. My Son school went to a park not dismal Disney but Fuji-Q Highland because it's too pricey tickets and food .. also in Tokyo park is split Disneyland and Disneyland sea and you have to pay twice if you want to visit both parks
I don't know what you are smoking. Stop trolling
@@kazuthesamurai7346 Just facts .. why am I trolling These are comments from my kids .. the target audience .. Yes weekends at disney are busy but I have spoken to a few parents who said the same things about it being pricey and they have canceled the annual pass for locals so they are looking at tourist money and they aren't interested in going ..
And the actionists in complete silence. I mean, your CEO and board of directors lose you 16 billions and you do nothing?
And I think it’s gonna be worst since that Cast member strike at Disney land is looming I really think if it happens it’s really gonna be an impact on the parks division.
I think Disney experimented with some add on items and made a surprising amount of money with little to no cost and very slight customer push back. So, they went all in. Now that they are addicted it’s going to take an intervention for them to stop.
There’s no word on how much the Disneyland Resort lost in California when Governor Newsom kept the park closed for over a year.
YT vlogger Fresh Baked posted a vid today about how attendance at DL in Anaheim is also apparently stagnant. He has done vids on the same subject for months & often reports the same thing. Although today's very politicized Disney Co doesn't help things, the situation with the OLC in Tokyo & certain other theme parks in the US suggest a lot of factors are at play. One reason why attendance at DL in Calif is also affected is because people are excited about the new Tiana's ride---whether that's sarcasm or not all depends on how much pixie dust is sprinkled on you.
just can't wait until Dave gets on the ride for the first time, and it stalls for 30 minutes... we warned ya DL... this is what yer getting.
I would not complaint about a 10 Minute line. Think about it! If you have 15 attractions with a one-hour waiting line, that means you can choose which 7 (5 minute) attractions you want to do. For this your spending the whole day and hundreds of Dollars.
If you say a 2-Hour wait in the sun should be expected, something's wrong with you as well!
Sure, Jan.
